The Epic of Leviathan

Chapter 431: The Tea Date (I)...

[Abandoned Church, Kuoh Town] 

"I can't believe the boldness of that woman!" Xenovia growled and smacked the wall beside her with her palm. 

"That is why this world should be purged of Devils" Irina said and started to wash her body. The two of them weren't happy with the condition of the Church but they couldn't do anything about it as no one was being assigned to this town. 

"Yes, but we can't do that. The Church can't afford a War at this moment. The last war was very costly for everyone" Xenovia pointed out and Irina simply lowered her head with a downcasted look on her face. 

"...So, what are we going to do now?" Irina asked Xenovia simply shrugged. 

"There is nothing we could do. I am going to inform the Church about recent developments. If the higher-ups order us to continue the mission anyway then we continue our mission" Xenovia finished in a determined tone. 

"I guess that's fine…" Irina said with an unsure look on her face. She wanted to do more. She wanted to show all these Devil heretics that they needed Salvation but the Church wouldn't declare a War even when holy artefacts like Excaliburs were involved. 

After a few minutes, both of them finished their bath and got dressed. After that, both Irina and Xenovia sat side by side and decided to inform the Church about the recent developments. It was Irina's father who decided to answer the call. The girls quickly recited the whole incident. 

"This is troubling. I have never heard of this woman named Yachiru Unohana. I will inform the higher-ups about this but for now don't do anything stupid… stay inside the Church" Touji Shidou, Irina's father said and disconnected the call. 

Irina immediately shot up from her seat and started to pace in front of Xenovia with a complicated look on her face. "I can't believe him" Irina raged. Most of the time, Xenovia would act like a muscle head but there were a couple of times when she would think over everything before acting recklessly. 

"Irina… you need to calm down. If what Sitri said is true and the Devils are under new management then someone could have taken over the Devils… this could be problematic" Xenovia said and Irina froze with a bewildered look on her face. 

It was very rare when someone Xenovia would think before acting but it was a welcome sight. After a few moments, Irina agreed with Xenovia. She didn't care about Devil matters but if someone successfully took the Devils then it could be troubling for them and their Faction. 

"Thank you, Xenovia…" Irina said with a grateful look on her face and plopped down beside Xenovia. 

"Good! Now let's get something to eat" Xenovia called out and Irina immediately agreed. Thankfully this time they didn't buy the fake painting of Saint Peter's and wasted all of their money… 

[POV Reo] 

"Is that good?" I asked as my eyes were focused on the 72 feet theatre screen in front of me. 

"Yes! This is perfect but how do I use this tiny thing?" Trihexa asked cutely while pointing towards the tiny remote. Sorry… I can't do anything about that. 

"I will show you how to show that but you need to use your Magic to operate it" I said and Trihexa excitedly nodded her head. It was a theatre screen I indefinitely borrowed from a theatre. Then I asked Momo to customize a 4K TV box to work with our internet connection. 

It wasn't hard like I had thought it would be. It used the same technology as our mobile to connect to our internet connection. I have decided to go with a 4K TV Box because the projector didn't support anything more than that. I think 4K will be fine though but you shouldn't compromise with quality. 

After that, I taught Trihexa how to control the TV Box using the remote. Getting power inside the seal was even easier. I just needed to use a half-inch portal. The electricity was almost negligible so it was fine. 

I wanted to get her a snack fridge too but that wouldn't work as even after devouring the whole freezer she won't feel anything. I needed to get her boulder-sized popcorn… doing something like that is easy for me but I didn't want to test the limitations of the seal. 

"Oh… this is perfect!! Now I won't be bored in this empty place…" Trihexa cheered as she started to browse the content. I had subscribed to all the packs so she won't miss anything. I just hope that she doesn't get addicted to Korean Drama. That would be catastrophic. 

"I will start with this!" She exclaimed and started to play Stranger Things on Netflix. Well, that's a pretty good series, can't complain about that. As long as she isn't watching Korean Drama then it is fine I suppose. 

"Trihexa, I need to get going. Take care and enjoy yourself" I said while waving at the beast of the apocalypse. 

She waved back at me. "Take care, Reo" she said cheerfully and after that, I disappeared from her seal. I arrived inside my house and decided to visit the forest in our backyard. Technically, all of our yards had forests but I am not someone who cared about inane things. 

I arrived at the backyard and found Yachiru Unohana or Retsu Unohana already waiting for me. Well, I decided to refer to it as Retsu Unohana since she was in her kind and gentle persona. Yesterday, she approached me and invited me for a tea date. 

I would have said that it came out of the blue but it didn't… as I said, I have already noticed her chatting with Jean which was very hard to ignore but I still ignored it as much as I could. I have noticed Unohana gazes from time to time but I thought it was normal. Maybe sometimes, I am really clueless. 

I appeared in front of the woman using my Space Powers. "Hello" after hearing my greeting, Unohana gave me a kind smile. 

"Please have a seat Reo-San" Unohana said with a smile and I decided to accept her offer. Unohana quickly started to prepare the teacups and plates. Everything including the cutlery was made of literal darkness but I am impressed that Unohana had learned how to change their colours too. 

"I see you have learned a lot about your powers…" I complimented and Unohana's smile widened after hearing my words.

"Thanks, the ability to control literal darkness is nothing to scoff at and I wanted to see the capabilities of this power and I haven't yet scratched the surface" Unohana answered humbly as she started to pour tea for both of us. 

As soon as Unohana finished filling my cup, she slowly pushed the cup towards me. Unohana did everything traditionally. I wonder how long it took her to learn all of that. Well, she did have a lot of time after she decided to give up killing. 

I knew a lot of things about the woman sitting in front of me but I still wanted to know her personally. I wasn't going to call it a day with her canon knowledge. I already know that this Unohana is already different from the Canon Unohana especially with her Bankai's power. josei

"How is the tea?" Unohana asked curiously when she saw that I took the first sip.

"The tea is pretty nice but to be honest, I was never a fan of tea but I wouldn't mind appreciating tea from time to time" I gave her my honest opinion. Unohana gave me a small nod as she called a house-elf and asked her to bring us some snacks. 

"I have heard" Unohana mumbled in a low tone. She thought that I wouldn't hear it but I did. "At least you like the tea" Unohana said with a kind smile on her face. 

The house-elf popped back and filled the table with various types of snacks. "So, Retsu-San… you don't mind me calling you Retsu-San, do you?" I asked as I didn't know if she would want me to call with her made-up name or not but now that I think of it, both of her names are made-up names. 

"It is completely fine with me Reo-San. Even though I had stopped using that name, it is still my name and it will never go away… I have used that name for more than 500 years" Unohana said politely and I nodded my head in understanding. 

"So, Retsu-San, do you like that Underworld?" I asked curiously. I already knew what Hela and Unohana were doing in the Underworld but I didn't know what they were thinking about the Underworld. 

"It is a beautiful place but there has been too much corruption due to the Devil Council. Currently, Hela has arranged a group of Devils to investigate Cleria Belial's death… it seemed to be kind of suspicious" Unohana said with a genuine saddened look on her face. 

Hmm… that's good. "And Hela is planning to make a few changes in the rating games" Unohana added and I nodded my head like a sage. 

"That's pretty good I guess… the Devils needed a reality check" I said with a small nod of my head. 

"So, Retsu-San, did you find anything you love in this modern world?" I asked curiously and stars started to shine in Unohana's eyes. 

"There are a couple of things I always wanted to try out…" Unohana said mysteriously and I couldn't stop myself from smiling…
